More quotes by Tom Stoppard
We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive.

Tom Stoppard
If you were handed power on a plate you'd be left fighting over a plate.
Tom Stoppard
One of the nice things about the world of filmmaking is that you make friends in the business.
Tom Stoppard
The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.
Tom Stoppard
Junk journalism is the evidence of a society that has got at least one thing right, that there should be nobody with the power to dictate where responsible journalism begins.
Tom Stoppard
I would join Sisyphus in Hades and gladly push my boulder up the slope if only, each time it rolled back down, I were given a line of Aeschylus.
Tom Stoppard
In England the rich own the poor and the men own the women.
Tom Stoppard
To say that it is without pace, point, focus, interest, drama, wit or originality is to say simply that it does not happen to be my cup of tea.
